Old door frames to be used in different places - with different wall strengths, heights and widths - were brought into a free-standing position in relation to each other and loosely connected. Angles that meet each other were moulded with polished aluminium plates. These position and stabilise the temporary constellation. Their forms are fitting pieces, they orientate themselves to the given situation and are dropping added value. Detached from the door frames generating them, they search for new unknown functions elsewhere.
